This article gives you an idea where you can start your bicycling adventures in China. More about cycling in China and one of the better travel destinations in China:
China has many secrets but one of the most untold secrets is that it is a great country for traveling with your children. There is so much to see in China, you can easily spend 2 to 3 YEARS in the country and still haven’t seen all there is worth to see. Think about it, China is so big that it take over 3 hours to fly from east to west, more then 2 full days by train to go from south to north.
This, with the fact that China until recently was quite hostile to tourism, doesn’t give the country the credits as a family holiday destination. However, as big as it is, China has really something to offer for all member of the family. I found a great website with all you want to know about traveling in China with your family. We from Yangshuo Travel Guide go into details for the Yangshuo area, but Miriam does the job for some of the main travel destinations in China, complete with explanations why and how to do it with children. This is a must read for families who have intentions to do something very different with their holiday! Highly recommended.
A few weeks ago the prices of petrol went up, and there was a run on the petrol stations. I was out with friends and we got stuck in a traffic jam. Not surprising, the taxi prices went up too. Taxis are never cheap but at KLIA they make it even worse. Taxi drivers charge extra for luggage (no matter how much luggage you have!), charge extra for driving after 6pm, charge extra on public holidays. It doesn’t make it easier for travelers to find cheap transport.
We from Pulau Pangkor.com found a reliable taxi organization, they do NOT charge those additional costs and thus they’re cheaper. Here’s what they off, taxi in Malaysia
